MAKING FUN OF GLADSTONE.
The Tory Press Amused That He Shoui
Be Selected to Represent England.

The Tory Press Amused That He Should
Be Selected to Represent England.
LONDON, Sept s-The Tory press unmer-
cifully poke fun at the letter of the Phila-
delphia committee to Gladstone inviting the
ex-premier to be present at the centennial
celebration of the adoption of the constitu
ton of the United States, and as thoug by
Encouragement ring the changes on the
phrase 1.-THE triumph of centripetal over cen
trifugal force in politics, which is only one
of the many original forms of expression con-
tanned in the letter. The Conservative papers
assert with perfect unanimity that the as
sumption of the committee that Gladstone
could by any possibility represent England
and her institutions is as absurd and unten-
able as is Gladstone's programme to disrupt
the union. Had the Philadelphia committee
desired a representative OF extreme anti
English sentiment, one paper says, It's mem
bers could not have gone far astray in solicit
ing tiladstone'S attendance and it is crafty
ing to observe that the xpreHier has still
remaining, despite the influence of his new
associations, that quality of honor which inn
pels man to refuse to place himself IN a
false position before the world and endeavor
to appear as that which he is not.
CHICAGO, Sept S-The delegates to the
German Roman Catholic convention con-
graduated themselves Tuesday night on the
prompt manner III which the resolution con-
demning the Knights of Labor order had
been sat down upon. Wednesday morning,
however, another brisk breeze ruffied the
surface oil the proceedings, and, as before, it
was the obnoxious resolution which caused it.
Some time after the opening of the morning
| session the following telegram addressed to
the presiding officer and dated Philadelphia,
| Sept. q, was received and read:
DEAR SIR: The resolution passed in your con-
vention on Monday, condemnng the Knights of
| Labor was unjust and based upon misrepresenta-
| ton Respectfully, TERENCE V. PowDERLY.
A short but heated discussion followed the
| receipt of the dispatch, and an incensed dele
gate spoke in favor of rebuking the head of
| the Knights of Labor, saying that a man of
Mr. Powderly's reputation was not fitted to
| be at the head of such powerful organiza-
| ton, If he would believe that the German
| Catholics were the enemies of the knights.
| The convention refused to concur in the dele
gates views, however, and dispatch, ex-
| planning the true situation of affairs was Or
dered sent to Mr. Powdery. The balance of
| the morning session was taken up in the
consideration OF COMMITTEES reports In the
| afternoon the election of officers took place
| and the convention adjourned

Great Victory
A Terrible Case of Scrofuia
Cured by
Hoods SarsapariIIa

In the winter Of 1879 was attacked with
Scrofula in one of the most aggrayating forms.
AT one time had no less than thirteen large
assesses over and aroundmy neck and throat,
continually exuding an offensive mass of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost intolerable to endure. 1t is impossible
to fully describe my suiferings, as the case
three years OF misery, having been treated by
three physicians, | was worse than ever.
Finally, on the recommendation of W. J.
Huntley, druggist, of Lockport, was induced
TO try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the assesses have all
disappeared, except the unsightly sears. which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and
beautifully less I do not know what it may
nave done for others, but do know that in
my ease, Hoods Sarsaparilla has proved an
effective specific indeed. AS an evidence of
my gratitude | send these facts unsolicited,
and ! am ready to verify the authenticity Of
this cure, hy personal correspondence with
any one who doubts it." CHARLES A. Rois-
EXITS, East Wilson, N. Y
This statement is confirmed by W. J. Hunt
fey, druggist, of Lockport, N. Y, who calls the
